2 Three Days of Gettysburg Scenario Book

© 2004 GMT Games, LLC

1.0 IntroductionThe Three Days of Gettysburg, 3rd Edition, covers the most famous

battle of the American Civil War. These Scenario Rules, and the

GBACW 4.5 Rules, supercede and supplant all rules from the

original edition.

All rules below are in addition to the GBACW Rules. If they

change the rules, such change is noted.

2.0 ComponentsA complete game of Three Days of Gettysburg contains :

1 Scenario booklet

1 Great Battles of the American Civil War Rules booklet

6 Countersheets

3 Map sheets

1 Player Aid Card (11” x 17” )

1 Union AM Sheet

1 Confederate AM Sheet

1 Union Reinforcement Schedule

1 Confederate Reinforcement Schedule

1 Gettysburg Turn Track & 2nd Disorder Card

1 Orders Chart/Terrain Effects Chart Card

1 10-sided die.

2.42 Map Scale: Each hex covers 125 yards. Terrain elevation

changes represent fairly gradual increases in height, usually about

20 feet. Where the elevation changes are more abrupt, we have so

noted.

3rd Edition Maps: For the sake of playability, minor slopes shown

in the previous map editions have been deleted. Slopes now

conform to the other games in the GBotACW series.

4.1 Commanders and Leaders4.13 Cavalry Division Leaders. The divisional cavalry leaders—

Stuart, Buford, Gregg and Kilpatrick—are each activated sepa-rately, using an Efficiency marker and their Activation Rating, if

any. There is no Cavalry Corps commander (in the game).

HISTORICAL NOTE: Alfred Pleasanton, the Union Cavalry Corps

commander, stayed at Meade’s side for the entire battle.

4.3 Artillery Leaders4.34 General Henry Hunt is the Union Artillery Commander

(formally, its Chief of Artillery). He is treated as if he were a Corps

Commander, complete with Efficiency DRM, except that he has

direct control over any/all batteries in his range. The Artillery

Reserve units usually move when the Union Artillery AM is drawn

although individual batteries from the Reserve may be attached to

infantry brigades (5.33).

4.35 The Confederates have a “corps level”- Artillery Commander

(Pendleton). The Confederate problem is that he isn’t very good and

was around mostly for “show.” At any time during the game tha

both men are on the map, the CSA Player may replace Pendleton

(Efficiency DRM of –2) with Porter Alexander (No EfficiencyDRM)—he’s already commanding the I Corps Artillery Reserve—

by undertaking an Efficiency Transfer: 2 AMs spent allows the

player to:

• Flip the Pendleton counter to his reverse side (to Alexander a

Artillery Commander).

• Flip Alexander’s I Arty Reserve counter to its “replacement” side

DESIGN NOTE: We have left out the three CSA Corps Artiller

commanders—Walton, Brown and Walker—because including them

would add nothing to the game.

4.36 Artillery AMs are provided for those groups of artillery no

attached to an infantry/cavalry command. They are used somewhadifferently than regular AM:

• They may not be used for Efficiency Transfer, either to or from

• The most Artillery AM that may be available in a single turn i

‘3’. (Treat a ‘4’ as a ‘3’).

PLAY NOTE: It is probably helpful to designate those batteries tha

will activate under an Artillery AM at the start of the turn with a

“Arty Reserve” marker.

5.2 Efficiency5.22 Example of Overall Commander Benefit: Both A.P. Hill and

Longstreet start a turn in range of Lee. Lee has a ‘1’ Initiativ Rating. He may give that 1 to increase the Corps Efficiency (as pe

the drawn CE marker), by one, of either Hill or Longstreet, not both

5.23 Exception: Cavalry Division Leaders of both sides do no

need a Chain of Command to use their Activation DRM. To tha

extent, they operate independently.

Example for the First Day, 0800 Turn: The Union Player draws

a ‘3’ Corps Efficiency Marker for Buford. As Buford may ac

independently, that means Buford gets, from the Efficiency Table

4 AM for the 0800 Turn, as he has an Activation modifier of +1. The

CSA Player draws a ‘2’ CE for Hill’s Corps (applied to Heth). Heth

has no Activation modifier, but he is not within range of his Corp

Commander. He, therefore, gets a reduced AM of ‘1.’

9.7 Reinforcements9.76 All reinforcements enter through the Staging Area listed in the

scenario. Staging areas consist of a Direct Entrance hex (the one

with the road/pike) and several Adjacent Entrance hexes.

• Units entering from the Direct Entrance hex may use any type o

Movement/ Orders they wish.

• Units entering from an Adjacent entrance hex must use Advance

or Attack Orders.

Three Days of Gettysburg Scenario Book

9.8 Gettysburg Terrain9.81 The Lott’s Ridge Bridge: On Map A, across the RR cut

between 1522 and 1723, there is a bridge! This is treated like any

other bridge, with the following exceptions:

• Units may use this bridge only when moving from 1522 to 1723,

or vice versa.

• A unit—or its Extender—may not end movement in hex 1623

when using the bridge.

• If there is an enemy unit in the cut in hex 1622, 1623, or 1523, a

unit may not use the bridge. The bridge has no effect on Line of

Sight.

DESIGN NOTE: The Lott’s Ridge Bridge was only about ten yards

across; the cut is very narrow here—and incapable of holding more

than a few men at a time.

9.82 The Unfinished Railroad. Construction on the railroad

stopped when the war broke out. The unfinished railroad is treated

as a trail.

9.83 Railroad Cuts. Where railroad construction had cut through

hills, it had left gorge-like passes: cuts. Railroad cuts have the

following properties:

• No unit may enter or exit a Railroad Cut hex unless following

the path of the unfinished railroad (exception: 9.81).

• Units in a Railroad Cut hex are considered to be one elevation

level lower than the predominant elevation of the hex.

• Units in a Railroad Cut hex can only be fired at by units directly

adjacent to the hex or by units that have a straight line of sight

down the unfinished railroad line to the center of the Cut hex.

• No unit may Shock Assault into or out of a Railroad Cut hex

unless following the path of the unfinished railroad.

• Units in a Railroad Cut hex suffer a +2 if fired upon and a –2 if

conducting fire. Note that units in a Railroad Cut hex can only

fire at units that could fire on them (see 3rd bullet above).

9.84 The Sunken Road (labelled “Long Lane” on map), running

SW out of Gettysburg on Map B, is treated as a Road for movement

purposes. The road does have effects on combat, though, because

it acts like a defensive trench. The defensive benefits for fire given

on the Terrain Chart, however, do not apply if the target unit is fired

at along the length of the road. Similarly, artillery units in a Sunken

Road hex may not fire out of that hex, only along the road at targets

actually in the road.

PLAY NOTE: In essence, we’re telling you not to put artillery in the

Sunken Road.

9.85 Brooks. The map is criss-crossed with a large number of Brooks, which run through the hex, not along the hexside. These

brooks have No Effect on anything, with one exception: it costs

artillery one extra MP (+1 to the cost of the other terrain) to enter

that hex. Also, note that the game terminology for creeks and

streams often does not match the local name. Thus, Plum Run is a

stream, etc.

9.86 Gettysburg. It is very difficult to move through the town of

Gettysburg, except on the roads. The presence of buildings, fences,

and other annoying terrain, not only slows movement but possibly

disorders any unit formation cohesion. Town hexes are considered

one elevation higher than the actual ground elevation for the

purpose of LOS.

9.87 Farms. Hexes containing more than one building (other than

Town hexes) add +1 to movement costs to account for fences, etc

Farms also have minor benefits for defenders. A hex containing a

single building has no affect at all on play.

9.88 Off-map Movement. At the southern end of Map C there are

several roads/trails that allow players to move from one entry hex

to another, if they so wish. Players may use these roads/trails to

either enter as reinforcements or leave the playing area of the map

No unit may move adjacent to an enemy unit that is using an off-

map road/trail. This rule is an exception to 9.56.

10.2 Line of Sight10.23 Gettysburg Town hexes are treated as being one full leve

higher than the actual hex elevation. A town hex does not block Line

of Sight if the fire is directed straight down a street or trail.

EXAMPLE: A unit in B3617 could not fire at a unit in B3916. A uni

in B3619 could fire at a unit in B3919.

10.9 Artillery Barrage10.91 Artillery Barrage is a method of combining a large number o

cannon into one extended fire, whereas such combination is nor

mally limited to combined fire, 10.63.

10.92 A player may declare an Artillery Barrage any time he draws

an Artillery AM. Artillery AM are available only when that Com

mander (Pendelton/Alexander or Hunt) is on the map. All batteries

within the Artillery Commander’s Range—adjacency is not neces

sary if within that range—are eligible to use Barrage.

PLAY NOTE: The “exception” to 4.22 does apply here, too.

10.93 When undertaking a phase of Barrage, the batteries may:

• combine fire as the player wishes (against any one target),• fire twice in that Phase, but

• fire only at Shot/Shell Range (4+ hexes); and

• not move that Phase.

10.94 The usual Ammo Disorder dierolls on the Fire Table do no

apply to guns firing Barrage. Instead, depending on how much of

a Barrage, the barraging player must roll the die to check for each

counter firing. He adds to that DR the number of activations that

counter has fired that turn. Thus, using a 3rd Artillery AM to

Barrage will incur a +3 DRM.

• Union. A dieroll of 9 or more disorders the battery/section. It may

not fire again that turn, and must be rallied to do so later in the

game.

• CSA. A dieroll of 7 or more disorders the battery/section. It may

not fire again that turn, and must be rallied to do so later in the

game. Moreover, if the dieroll is higher than ‘9’, that battery/

section is permanently Disordered. Remove the unit from the

game.

10.95 No player may use Barrage in two consecutive turns.

12.7 Leader Casualties EXAMPLE: General Hancock, II Corps Commander for the Union,

is killed. Flipping his counter over, you see that his replacement

would normally be General Caldwell. But Caldwell, too, is dead.

Therefore, the Union player replaces Hancock with Gibbon, 2/II,

(still using the Caldwell/Replacement side of Hancock’s counter),

and flips Gibbon to his Replacement side.

DESIGN NOTE: We have been fairly strict about whose name gets

to be used as a replacement, attempting to stick as close as possibleto seniority. We have ignored actual events, such as having General

Newton (3/VI) being placed in charge of the I Corps upon Reynolds’

death, etc. We apologize for any possible mistakes as to who would

actually succeed whom. For those Gettybsurg buffs out there who

want a bit more “authenticity,” we recommend taking a look at the

Officer Seniority List in Dave Powell’sThis Hallowed Ground (The

Gamers).

14.2 Dismounted Cavalry DESIGN NOTE: CSA cavalry does not have a dismounted status in

this game.

14.4 Berdan’s SharpshootersBerdan’s Sharpshooters (Union)—1 US SS

and 2 US SS (nominally attached to III

Corps)—are somewhat independent units.

• They have a Maximum Fire Range of 6, as

they have specially equipped Breechloaders.

Therefore, in addition to the normal capa-

bilities of the Breechloaders, their Maxi-

mum Fire Range is extended to 6 hexes,

with a DRM of –2 at that range.

• The make undertake activations with any one division (each).

However, they must choose that Division at the start of the turn,

and they use that Division’s AM to activate.

• They may Rally themselves, as per 13.4.

• If Routed they come back under the III Corps.

14.5 Major General Warren, USAMeade’s Chief of Engineers, Gouverneur Warren, played a fairly

important part in the last two days of the battle, undertaking a

variety of command decisions and using his sense of what was

happening and his initiative to do something about it. To represent

this, use the following rules (there is no Warren counter):

For any one turn starting with the first day turn of July 2, at the

conclusion of any single activation, the Union Player may interruptthe normal flow of play (i.e., activation by AM draw) and declare

a Warren Phase. He designates any one brigade as instantly acti-

vated, with all in-command units of that brigade undertaking

whatever actions the player feels necessary (and are allowed).

• This activation is in addition to what that brigade will get from his

Divisional AM.

• Nothing the unit does earns that brigade Fatigue during the

Warren Phase.

• However, no brigade may be so chosen that it will undertake 5

activations in a turn.

14.6 Major General Trimble, CSAIsaac Trimble, recently hors de combat after Chancellorsville

reported to Lee’s HQ just in time for Gettysburg. However, he had

no command. He was, essentially, a spare commander, who spen

the early part of the battle second-guessing Ewell.

Trimble may be used to replace any Corps (front side of counter) or

Division Commander (reverse side) as needed.

14.7 Conditional Cavalry ReinforcementsThe Master Reinforcement Schedule allows both players to choose

which, if any, cavalry units will participate in the July 3rd cavalry

battle which occurred to the east of the map area. This applies only

to the Campaign Game, as the historical usage of these units is

presented in the individual day scenarios.

14.71 On or before the 0900 turn of July 3rd, the CSA player mus

decide whether to withhold cavalry brigades scheduled to arrive

and/or to withdraw those that have arrived. The CSA player has four

(4) brigades from which to choose:

• Jenkins’ Brigade (arrives July 1, 1900)

• Fitz. Lee’s Brigade (arrives July 2, 1600)

• Chambliss’ Brigade (arrives July 2, 1600)

• Hampton’s Brigade (arrives July 3, 0700)

Imboden’s Brigade may not be so chosen. (See below)

With each brigade selected, one of the Confederate horse artillery

batteries (Breathed, Griffin, Hart, and/or McGregor) must accom

pany that brigade (1 battery per brigade).

14.72 Confederate cavalry withheld are simply not brought on as

reinforcements. Cavalry designated to be withdrawn must be so by

the 1200 game-turn of July 3rd. A Brigade may not be withdrawn

if any of its units (including the designated battery) is adjacent to an

enemy combat unit or cannot trace a path of hexes clear of enemy

units/ZOCs to Entry Areas 8 or 9. To withdraw simply remove the

units from the map.

14.73 During the 1300 game-turn of July 3rd, the Union player may

withhold any one or more of his Cavalry brigades (due to arrive a

1300, 1400 or 1500). With each brigade withheld, one of the

conditional horse artillery batteries must accompany that brigade (1

battery per brigade).

Buford’s Brigades (Devin and Gamble), or their substitutes (see

note [c] on the Reinforcement Schedule), may not be included.

14.74 If both sides have chosen an equal number of cavalry brigades

as being withheld/withdrawn, as above, all of those units are out of

the game, and there is no further effect.

14.75 If one side withholds/withdraws more brigades than the

other, that player may, if he wishes, return, as a Reinforcement, that

number of brigades (in excess of those withdrawn by the other

player), in any turn starting with the 1700 July 3rd turn, as follows:

• The CSA player may bring his cavalry back through Entry Areas

9 or 10, with all units entering through the same area.

• The Union player may bring his cavalry back through Entry

Areas 8 or 9, with all units entering through the same area.

14.76 The player must check for any units returning, as per 14.75,

to see whether they suffered any casualties. Roll the die once,

treating the 0 as a 10. The result is the number of cavalry SPs lost

off-map. The player immediately apportions these losses among

the returning units, as he sees fit.

DESIGN NOTE: This rule recreates the off-map cavalry battle

(Low Dutch Road) that took place between 1300 and 1700 on July

3rd, as the Union cavalry stopped Stuart from flanking the Union

Army .

14.77 Imboden’s Cavalry. John D. Imboden’s 7th Cavalry, nomi-

nally attached to Stuart but somewhat used to operating on its own,

was not present at the actual battle. But they could have been. Thus,

these units are not available unless activated by a Random Event.

However, Imboden is always under Advance Orders and he cannot

change these, or have them changed.

18.0 Random Events (Optional)Players wishing to add a touch of the unexpected, may use this rule

to add the possibility of having some events (they run the gamut

from Reality to Fiction) tangentially affect play.

There is a Random Event marker. It is not available for use until the

1000 Game-Turn on July 1st. It is available for all Day, Dawn and

Dusk Turns (not Night Turns) thereafter. If you wish to use Random

Events, simply place the RE Marker in the Pool with the other AMs

at the beginning of each turn.

When the RE Marker is drawn, the drawing player rolls the die:

• 0–2, the Union Player rolls on the RE Table

• 3–5, the CSA Player rolls on the RE Table• 6–9, no one rolls; No Event; False Alarm.

Moreover, if the RE marker is the last marker selected in a turn,

ignore it.

The Random Events Table—and the events therein—are (we hope)

self-explanatory. If the event is inapplicable, treat as No Event.

1.0 The First Day: July 1

This scenario presents Lee with his finest opportunity to win thebattle. By midday, he outnumbers the arriving Union forces, and

(unlike Lee) the Confederate Player knows what’s going on.

1.1 MapsAll three maps are used.

1.2 Game Length /Playing TimeThis scenario starts with the July 1, 0700 turn and ends at the

conclusion of the 2000 turn of that day. It should take about two

days of gaming to complete.

1.3 BalanceThe Confederate Player is favored to win here, although he doeshave to take some difficult objectives.

1.4 First Turn InitiativeThe CSA Player automatically has the Initiative for the 0700 turn

1.5 Initial DeploymentNote: Players may face their units in any direction they wish.

Initial Confederate DeploymentAll units start on the A Map, under Advance Orders (except Davis

Brigade which starts under March Orders). The CSA Player re-

ceives 2 AMs for Heth for the 0700 turn; after that, he rolls.

Hexes Units

1332 to 1634 ............. Pegram’s Artillery Reserve (Crenshaw,

Fredericksburg, Letcher, PeeDee, Purcell

batteries); Pegram, Heth (He/III)

Pegram’s Artillery Reserve begins the

game attached to Heth’s Division.

Archer

On Road (1330-1133): . Davis’ Brigade (He/III) minus the 11 Miss

regiment, Davis. All units in Extended

Column—under March Orders.

Initial Union DeploymentAll units start under Advance Orders. The USA Player receives

2 AMs for Buford for the 0700 turn; after that, he rolls.

Hexes Units

W/i 1 hex of B3424

1 counter per hex: ..... Devin’s Cavalry Brigade (minus 3WV

regiment[a]) (2/1/Cav), Devin; Mounted

W/i 1 hex of A2314: . 8 IL Cavalry (2 units) (1/1/Cav). Mounted

or Dismounted, player’s choice

A3005 ....................... A, 2US Battery (2nd Horse Arty, 1/1/Cav)

A2703 ....................... 3 IN cavalry regiment. Mounted.

W/i 1 hex of A3005 .. Gamble’s Cavalry Brigade, (minus 3 IN

and the 8 IL) (1/1/Cav); 3 WV regiment

[a] (2/1/Cav). Gamble, Buford. Mounted.

[a] The 3rd West Virginia regiment was not “combat ready.” It

starts the game stacked with Buford, with the following restrictions:

• It may not dismount.

• It may not charge.

Remember, players don’t add the Random Event chit to the AM

pool until the 1000 turn.

1.6 Reinforcements

As per the Master Reinforcement Schedules

1.7 VictoryTo win, the CSA Player must control (occupies or last to occupy)

the following hexes at the end of the 2000 game-turn:

• Gettysburg (B3821, 3827, 3818)

• Culp’s Hill (B5013 and 5014)

• Cemetary Hill (B4721 and 5020)

However, even if the CSA Player achieves his geographical objec-

tives, if he has more Divisions Ineffective [13.3] than the Union has:

• 1 more, it is a draw

• 2 more, it is a Union win, regardless of what the Confederateholds.

If the CSA fails to hold all three geographical objectives, the Union

wins, regardless of relative losses.

2.0 HERR’S RIDGE

2.1 MapsOnly A Map is used.

2.2 Game Length and Playing TimeThis is the shortest scenario in the box. It starts with the July 1, 0700

turn and ends at the conclusion of the 1000 turn (which is about

when Union I Corps would have made its presence definitively

felt). It should take a couple of hours to play.

2.3 BalanceThe Union player is slightly favored here, as it is not that easy to ge

Heth’s division rolling.

2.4 First Turn Initiative

The CSA Player automatically has the Initiative for the 0700 turn

2.5 Initial DeploymentUse the 1st Day Initial Deployment for both sides

Activations: Heth and Buford have only 2 possible Activations in

the 0700 turn, and only 3 in the 1000 turn.

2.6 ReinforcementsUse Confederate Reinforcements only, per the CSA Master Rein-

forcement Schedules. Union reinforcements are not used.

2.7 Victory

The CSA player wins if he controls (occupies or last to occupy) both2512 (Herr’s Tavern) and 3517 at the end of the 1000 game-turn

Otherwise, the Union wins.

3.0 Little Round Top: July 2This is the key micro-battle of the entire engagement, with Lee

seeking to turn the Union flank, only to be held off by the remark-

able defense of the 20th Maine, et al.

3.1 MapsOnly the “C” map is used. In order to not have to use the other two

maps, we have “eliminated” the action at the Peach Orchard. Weconcentrate, herein, on the Wheatfield and the Round Tops. There-

fore, no units may move into or north of the 12xx row, excluding

arriving Union reinforcements, which may do so only to move

through them. Exception, Eschleman’s artillery may use the road

they start on to 1239, but must then take the trail to the southeast.

3.2 Game Length/Playing TimeThis scenario starts with the July 2, 1600 turn and ends at the end

of the July 2, 1900 turn. It should take about 6 hours to play.

3.3 BalanceThis is a very tough hoe for the rebels, mostly because the terrain

is so difficult.

3.4 First Turn InitiativeThe CSA Player automatically has the Initiative for the 1600 turn.

3.5 Initial DeploymentAll units are at full strength. Players may face their units in any

direction they wish.

All units may be given whatever Orders their Player wishes.

Note: Do not use Fatigue for this scenario.

Confederate Deployment Hex Units

is not available. Because McLaws is off-map, the Confederate

player may ignore his lack of presence when determining those

brigades’ AM for the turn, as long as they are within Longstreet’

range. If not, treat as if McLaws was out of Longstreet’s range.

Union Deployment Hex Units

3.7 Special RulesUnion Command Situation: Even though there is no Union corps

leader at the start of the game, all Union units are considered in

command for the duration of the scenario.

Major General Warren, USA: Use rule 14.5.

3.8 VictoryThe CSA Player must occupy hexes 2118 and 2219 (Little Round

Top) at the end of the game to win. Otherwise, the Union player wins.

4.0 The Second Day: July 2The first day of the battle had gone well for the CSA, even when

considering their failure to push the Union right from their positions

at day’s end. The second day, which loomed as a possible break-

through towards achieving Lee’s strategic goals, dawned auspi-

ciously but ended up as a big disappointment. While Longstreet

argued for more maneuvering, Lee opted for a slam-bang attack,

headed by a sweeping flanking drive by two of Longstreet’s

divisions against what appeared to be a non-existent Union left; a

classical, almost text-book turning maneuver of the era.

Well, as we know, it didn’t work, mostly because the attack didn’t

get off until late in the afternoon, allowing Meade to strengthen his

position. And when it did get going, it was more of a rolling attack,

right-to-left, than an all-out assault. Bad coordination and, perhaps,

a subconscious reluctance on Longstreet’s part, doomed the day to

failure and virtually sealed the fate of the war in the east.

You, as the Confederate gamer, will now have the chance to see

what you could do with the opportunity placed before you.This scenario, while long, is a fairly evenly matched, attack-

oriented battle, conveying much of the spirit of the game.


4.2 Game Length/Playing TimeThis scenario starts with the July 2, 0500 turn and continues until

the end of the July 2, 1900 turn. This is a long scenario, covering

about 30-40 hours of playing time.

4.3 BalanceMuch depends on what the Confederate plan is, but the Union has

position, and that gives them the edge.


4.5 Initial Deployment

All units may be given whatever Orders their Player wishes.All units are listed by brigade, and all regiments in that brigade se

up within one hex of the hex listed. Players may face their units in

any direction they wish.

Previous Losses/Replacement LeadersCertain brigades have suffered losses from the First Day’s action

These losses are listed as “PL-#”, the number being the number of

SP’s by which the brigade must be reduced. To make things easier

simply divide the losses as evenly as possible amongst the regi-

ments present from that brigade, giving any “extras” to the bigger

units. If such “even distribution” would eliminate a unit, leave tha

unit at 1 SP and distribute the losses to other regiments, unless it is

specifically indicated that a unit has been “eliminated.”

EXAMPLE: Pettigrew’s brigade has suffered losses of 18 SP’s

This means that the 11 NC and the 26 NC will each be reduced by

5 SP each (to 7 and 12 SP’s), and the other two regiments by 4 SPs

to a strength of 7 SP.

Where a brigade has been so reduced that it is Ineffective it is noted

as “ [Brigade Ineffective] ” .

Where a leader has been replaced it is so noted. E.g., Iverson

(Repl).

5.0 The Third Day, July 3Personally, we feel the battle was lost on the second day. By the 3rd

the Union army was dug-in in positions from which it would have

been difficult for Lee to drive them out, even had Lee had more men

which he didn’t. Even worse, he had fewer guns and a dwindling

supply of ammunition.

Still, there are many of you who want to see if it can be done, so, for

those of you seeking to get Field Command at the Somme, Verdun

Ypres, and a whole host of similarly bad places, we give you this

rather depressing exercise in mass slaughter.


5.2 Game Length/Playing TimeThis scenario starts with the July 3, 1300 turn and continues unti

the conclusion of the July 3, 1900 game-turn. Although it’s only

some 7 turns in length, given the sheer number of counters, this

scenario should take about 25 hours to complete.

5.3 BalanceHeavily favors the Union. However, both armies are pretty beat up

with many brigades quite near Ineffectiveness. This could be a

factor in victory.


5.5 Initial DeploymentAll units may be given whatever Orders their Player wishes.

All units are listed by brigade. As most of the deployments are ofthe “within one hex” type, we start the scenario a little before the

actual attack took place to allow you to do some last minute

maneuvering into place. Players may face their units in any direc-

tion they wish.

Previous Losses/Replacement Leaders

Certain brigades have suffered losses from the previous two days

action. These losses are listed as “PL-#”, the number being the

number of SP’s by which the brigade must be reduced. To make

things easier, simply divide the losses as evenly as possible amongs

the regiments present from that brigade, giving any “extras” to the

bigger units. If such “even distribution” would eliminate a unit,

leave that unit at 1 SP and distribute the losses to other regiments,

unless it is specifically indicated that a unit has been “eliminated”.

EXAMPLE: Pettigrew’s brigade has suffered losses of 18 SP’s.

This means that the 11 NC and the 26 NC will each be reduced by

5 SP each (to 7 and 12 SP’s), and the other two regiments by 4 Sps,

to a strength of 7 SP.

Where a brigade has been so reduced that it is Ineffective it is noted

as “[Brigade Ineffective]”.

Where a leader has been replaced it is so noted. E.g., Iverson (Repl).

6.0 The Battle of GettysburgThis is the entire battle, and it is a long one. It is best played by teams

of 3 or 4 players who are willing to set aside about a “month of

Sundays,” at least. That is not to say it cannot be played by less, or

even solitaire (which it most assuredly can). The more the merrier,

though, players dividing up the commands as they wish.

6.1 Maps

All three maps are used.

6.2 Game Length/Playing TimeThis scenario starts with the July 1, 0700 turn and continues until

one player achieves victory. It does not end after any specific turn.

This is, therefore, an open-ended game that can end at any time. As

such, we estimate that it takes, roughly , 75+ hours, possibly far

more.

6.3 BalanceIronically, although Gettysburg was a major Union victory, the

Confederate Player is favored to win here. Why? Because you, as

player, can see what is happening and what you have to do, always

an advantage for the attacker. And that “visual, god-like” advantage

is enough to favor Bobby Lee.

6.4 First Turn InitiativeThe CSA Player automatically has the Initiative for the 0700 turn.

6.5 Initial DeploymentUse the same initial deployments as for the First Day Scenario [2.5].

6.6 ReinforcementsUse the Master Reinforcement Schedule.

6.7 VictoryBoth Players can achieve victory as soon as they satisfy either thei

Geographic Objectives or their Manpower objectives. A player

does not have to do both; only one.

The game ends at the conclusion of any single turn in which one

player achieves either his Geographic or his Manpower objectives

Confederate Geographic Objectives (He must satisfy all of the

following):

• Culp’s Hill (B5013 and 5014)

• Cemetary Hill (B4720, 5020 and 5323)

• Hexes B6920, C1016 and 1115

• Little Round Top (C2118 and 2219)

• Hex C4645 [a]

a = The CSA may occupy this hex anytime after the 1400 turn on

July 3.

Confederate Manpower Objectives: The Union Player must have

at least 12 Divisions that are Ineffective. A cavalry brigade counts

as a division!

Union Geographic Objectives. These apply only starting with th

0500 turn of July 2. (He must satisfy all of the following):

• Gettysburg (B3821, B3827, B3818)

• There are no In Command infantry or cavalry CSA units on o

east of the Emmitsburg Road, B4721 to C4645

Union Manpower Objectives: The CSA Player must have at leas

6 Divisions that are Ineffective. A cavalry brigade counts as a

division!

If both players achieve an objective at the end of a turn, the battle

is over and is considered a Draw.

A player may always concede victory, in effect, withdrawing his

army.

The letters MOMTO means: May Occur More Than Once (during thegame). Otherwise, each event may occur only once.

A Brigade Depression. The last activated brigade is finished for theTurn. MOMTO

B Brigade Enthusiasm. The player may immediately activate any onebrigade, regardless of its Efficiency status. This does not count as useof an AM, although it will count for Fatigue. MOMTO

C Flashman at High Tide. Colonel Harry Flashman, detached by theBritish Army for duty in the US by Queen Victoria as HRM’s officialobserver to the ACW, is now yours to use at any time, as soon, or aslate, as you wish. Place the Flashman counter with any leader orcommander. To use, roll the die and apply the result. Flashman may beused only once per turn. MOMTO (unless #9 is rolled).

0-2 Place Flashy at the head of any one regiment of your choice thatis going to engage in a Shock Attack. When resolving the shock,roll the die for Flashy: odd, he panics (as usual), causing you tosubtract two (–2) from that Shock DR; even, despite his bestefforts, he leads the charge: add two (+2) to the Shock DR.

3-5 Based on Sir Harry’s observations while in disguise with theenemy, you may look at all enemy AM remaining in The Pool.

6–8 Flashman has been captured by the enemy. The opposing playermay now use him.

9 Flashy is caught in flagrante delicto in a neighboring farmhousewith the daughter of the owner. He is placed in local lockup andis out of the game forever.

HISTORICAL NOTE: The papers of Sir Harry Flashman, VC, discov-

ered some 25 years ago, indicate that he served on both sides duringthe war, although in what capacities has not yet been revealed.

DESIGN NOTE: Harry Flashman is, of course, the marvelous inven-tion of George MacDonald Fraser (and, to be sure, Thomas Hughes.)

If you haven’t read any of the Flashman books, you are missing quitea bit. If you don’t like this type of fantasy, treat as no event.

D Reinforcements Delayed.The player rolling this must delay any of hisreinforcements scheduled to enter this turn, that have not yet done so,to the next turn. MOMTO

E Sniper Fire. The player may designate any one enemy leader withinfour hexes and LOS of any of his infantry units as a target of Sniper Fire.Roll the die. If the DR is odd that leader has been hit and killed.MOMTO

F Shortened Turn. Randomly and blindly remove two AM from ThePool. They’re not used this turn. MOMTO

G Reinforcement Entry Changed.The Player may, if he wishes, changethe Entrance Hex of any one group scheduled to arrive, this turn or thenext, one Entrance Area lower or higher (by number). He does not haveto reveal this until the units actually arrive. MOMTO

H Imboden. If rolled by the CSA Player, the units in Imboden’s Cavalrybrigade are available to enter, next turn, through either SA #1 or #2. Ifrolled by the Union, treat as No Event.

I Lousy Caissons. The player rolling this loses one gun from the nexartillery battery he moves; its caissons have rotted and collapsedMOMTO

J Exploding Gun Barrel Kills Crew. The next time the player rollingthis fires one of his batteries, the opposing player rolls the die. If the DRis even: subtract two (–2) from the fire resolution DR and Eliminate onegun. It has exploded. MOMTO

K The Left Hand of God. The opposing player may move any (yours ohis) two individual combat units that are not in March Mode up to threehexes. This is not a Fatigue Action, and is not considered use of an AMMOMTO

L Mo’ Better Booze. The player rolling this designates any one of his Urated brigadiers (if he has any of the map) as Drunk. For the remaindeof the “day” (until the next day’s first day turn) that brigadier has:

• An Orders Rating of –2, A Command Range of 2, and a MovemenAllowance of 3.

• If he starts an activation adjacent to his Corps or Overall Commander while drunk, the player may cashier the drunkard and bringhis Replacement in, as if he were killed. MOMTO

M Thunderstorm. Didn’t happen historically, at least not during thebattle, but it could have (given the weather). Roll the die; halve theresult, rounding down (with a minimum result of ‘1’). It rains for thanumber of turns, including this one. The heavy rain has the followingeffects during the storm: Halve all unit’s MA’s (rounding down), Alactivations over one earn Fatigue, Subtract three (–3) from all FireTable die rolls. Add two (+2) to all Rally DRs. No Fatigue RecoveryAllowed.

N Panic. The player designates any one unit within three hexes of any ohis (rolling player’s) combat units and rolls the die. If the DR is higherthan the target unit’s Cohesion, that unit has Routed. MOMTO

O Free Rally. The player may immediately, and automatically, returnany one Routed unit to play, placing it as per 13.52. MOMTO

P Our Hero! Take the “Hero” marker. At any time during the game thayou need, or want, to influence any dieroll (UDD) that requires usinga unit’s Cohesion Rating, you may play the Hero marker and adjust thaDR two (2) in your favor. Once played, remove the Hero. More than oneHero marker may be in use, but only one per DR. MOMTO

Q Skiddadle Time. The player designates any one cavalry brigade thadoes not have any combat units within two hexes of any enemy combaunit as being assigned to scouting and rearguard duties. That brigade iremoved from play for the remainder of the game. Exception: Buford’sdivisions may not be chosen until July 2.

R Hill Ill. It appears that A.P. Hill suffered from some form of illnesswhich often debilitated him at the most inopportune moments. If thisevent occurs, and Hill is not yet on the map, roll the die. If odd, his entryis delayed by one turn; if even it is delayed by two turns. If Hill is onthe map, flip him to his Replacement (R. Anderson) side, He recoversafter 3 turns (including this one).

S Lee Hors de Combat. Theories abound concerning Lee’s “less thantypical” performance at Gettysburg. Some say a variety of illnessesdisabled him, at least to the extent that they dismantled his focus. Thisevent covers that: you add your “disease” of choice. If/when this evenoccurs: Lee’s Initiative Rating drops to 0, and the CSA Player may noeffect Efficiency Transfer. These restrictions apply for the two turnsfollowing this one MOMTO
